I practice psychoanalysis in California. I am a candidate analyst at the Lacanian School of Psychoanalysis. Before specializing in Lacanian psychoanalysis, I was in psychoanalytic training at the San Francisco Center for Psychoanalysis for several years. As an ongoing faculty member there, I teach a seminar on Lacan in the Adult Psychoanalytic Training Program.

In addition to my practice, I am a faculty member in the Department of Comparative Literature at UC Berkeley. I publish my research in peer-reviewed journals and teach. My training as a literary scholar makes me a sharp listener of the unconscious in my clinical work.

I hold a Ph.D. in Comparative Literature and Critical Theory from UC Berkeley, where I worked under the direction of Judith Butler. I received my undergraduate degree from Wesleyan University. I am licensed as a student research psychoanalyst with the California Board of Psychology (RPS 299).
